1. Now that Black Friday is almost on us all over the US, there will be people camping at store entrances. I wonder how many of these people will be told to move and pepper-sprayed (and thank goodness not shot) because they won't move? Or, how about people who camp out for tickets to concerts? Do they get told to move and then pepper-sprayed when they don't?
2. Some people prefer that tents not be erected on campus. I think more people prefer that tuition not be raised (e.g., the protesters). Should the police pepper -spray those who still raise tuition when told not to?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecd451469bedd714700003eJohn ChurchWed, 23 Nov 2011 14:10:12 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecd451469bedd714700003e
This is terrible. What did these people do that they deserved to be .... tortured?! They disobeyed orders from campus police? ... really? Is that sufficient reason to attack them? I think not. I can't believe that we (US citizens) believe it is okay to pepper spray peaceful demonstrators. Don't we have any constitutional rights anymore?
There needs to be legal action/consequences for this University and these campus police.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecca8136bb3f73556000049Sonny ShadeWed, 23 Nov 2011 03:00:19 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecca8136bb3f73556000049
Bull Connor was somewhat more deliberate and vicious than these cops were. Connor advocated the use of the nightstick to break forearms when raised to protect the head and face. He was a sorry son of a bit*h and a prime example of how some cops can be just as bad as Nazis.
Have law enforcement officers in my family. They agonize over situations like this. But not every LEO agonizes...some of them relish the experience.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecca54eeab8ea2b30000037ol_dudeWed, 23 Nov 2011 02:48:30 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecca54eeab8ea2b30000037
At least they weren't breaking arms and heads. Many cops would rather handle any/all civil disobedience that way.
Random use of pepper spray will one day be declared a crime. There are places where it is used on folks who are handcuffed and already subdued. It is easier than kicking butt. And it is easier for a judge to look the other way. By the time the victims are in front of a judge, there are no cuts, no bleeding, no bandages...just a bunch of sick victims.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecc3625ecad048e0a00002bGreg BarrettTue, 22 Nov 2011 18:54:13 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecc3625ecad048e0a00002b
These hippies deserved every ounce of pepper spray and more. They were blocking a walkway that the police ordered clear. You do NOT have the right to disobey the police and moreover you do not have the right to shout or be rude! This is america! You should not even be allowed to have that many people together in one place. It is a danger to the police and it is a danger to consumers. I feel no pity for these freaks and that officer should receive a metal.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecc21b4eab8eafe5300000dDarrellTue, 22 Nov 2011 17:27:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecc21b4eab8eafe5300000d
You will notice there aren't any tents in the video. The tents had been removed before the cops got there. So it's a straw man.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecbe486eab8ea796600000fJeffDTue, 22 Nov 2011 13:05:58 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecbe486eab8ea796600000f

Bob C -- Then how are they supposed to do it. Stand on the corner. It's called civil disobedience for a reason. Quit listening to the propaganda and read a little a bit about how it is to be done. I guess Martin Luther Kind did it wrong. Or John Adams, John Hancock. Teddy Roosevelt. Paul Revere and Ghandi, do I need to go on. Revere, Adams and Hancock -- Threw tea (private property) off of a ship -- Do you remember reading this in your history books? My goodness let's not upset your apple cart any. Hancock, Adams and others in Massachusetts blocked an entire harbor as did those in South and North Carolina to not allow English ships in, all prior to 1776. That was private property, duh. Get up off your couch and do something besides telling everyone how their actions are wrong. I'm a Vet and proud of them, this is what I fought for.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb81bc6bb3f7294f00000chahaTue, 22 Nov 2011 06:04:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb81bc6bb3f7294f00000c

Major wake-up call for us parents paying increasing tuitions and increased taxes... By God's grace as a parent who works FT and attends college while supporting a family of four the thought of increasing tuition in an economy where 1 in 6 people is in poverty or unable to find employment is ridiculous. Our governernment robs hard working employees of their benefits by taking 47.5% of every bonus with the nerve to ask for more every tax season!!! Our governement/colleges need a reality check on what it means to live on a budget and take pay cuts until they can relate to the reality of this nation. Seriously STOP increasing taxes/tuitioin and implement a 10% flat tax across the board no questions asked for every working class citizen w/ tuitions not to exceed over 10% of a parents income to avoid predatory lending. Within a decade juswt might have a healthier econonmy that is stimulated by citizens who actually enjoy their earned income vs. working for a government that only knows how to raise taxes with no accountablity for their actions!!! If you are making over $32K a year for a family of 6 you are considered rich in our government's eyes and do not qualify for any type of government aide so STOP voting to raise taxes and vote for government that really has to work for what they earn no more freebie $hit for elected officials!!!http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb34b7ecad045e37000010Casual ObserverTue, 22 Nov 2011 00:35:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb34b7ecad045e37000010

FWIW, I was on campus in 1972. There. were peaceful protests and marches. There were quite a few vets back from Viet Nam who joined the anti-war movement, peaceful protesting and/or SDS.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb1e5c69bedd641e000011Alex83Mon, 21 Nov 2011 23:00:28 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb1e5c69bedd641e000011
Wow you are a retard, the whole point to this country is to be able to speak your mind freely and have majority rule. And the majority is tired of getting fucked around with by the 1%. The time of the 1% squeezing every dollar out of us and working us to death is over. It's time to stop being peaceful about it. If the cops are going to use force, than so should the protesters. I urge you to start bring non-lethal weapons to your protest. FIGHT BACK for what you believe in. Bring your own bear mace, paint ball guns, stun guns, and whatever you can think of. We have seen from the 60's and 70's where peaceful protests got the protesters....... beat up and arrested, for trying to fight for what’s right.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb10976bb3f79279000034Randall HodginsMon, 21 Nov 2011 22:01:43 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb10976bb3f79279000034
I don't know if this is timely or merely opportunistic... I saw this on a google search page about UCD Pepper Spray:
Pepper Spray Injuries - November 20, 2011
If you have been injured by pepper spray while participating in non-violent protests, please contact Davis attorney Dr. Lawrence Paikoff for a free consultation. Pepper spray is quite caustic and irritates skin, eyes and mucous membranes. Contact attorney Dr Paikoff to evaluate your injury case.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb086aeab8ea463d000041hazmatMon, 21 Nov 2011 21:26:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb086aeab8ea463d000041

I live in Portland, OR. Our police also made the very same warning to the Occupy protestors that were in fact in our Public City Streets. Ultimately they took care of their objectives with patience and courtesy. They made their arrests as indicated but they did no harm.
This action against a relative few obdurate protestors was over the top. If this had been MY generation, WE would have erupted into immediate violence and caused the Police REAL fear - not the pablum ass-cover story "fear" that the Authorities manufactured after the fact of their fascist and brutal attack on what were, essentially, children.
Up to now I have considered the whole Occupy movement to be little more than a public nuisance. While my political opinion is unchanged, I am now far more in sympathy with their efforts than I would previously have thought possible.
Lt Pike's actions were reprehensible. They underscore as fact what otherwise might have been arguable as unlikely: That a Police State mentality is far more pervasive than the commonality would like to believe. I now hope only to see his remain officially excused for his actions and leave the door open for class action litigation and the the dismissal of the department leaders and the UC Davis Chancellor (I do not buy her shammed ignorance of the execution of the police action for an instant).http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb0124ecad045b54000021HankelvisMon, 21 Nov 2011 20:55:48 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecb0124ecad045b54000021

Test:
Q) What University Riots spawned the resignation of Dick Nixon from the Presidency in1974? Why were those naughty students protesting the Viet Nam War in the late 70's when the troops were removed from in 1975-6?. SO, you saw students protesting all through the late 70's?
A)The protests were in the late 60's. What , you forgt when you went to school?

No, I'm saying that many of them don't have jobs because they are college students, and many probably don't have jobs because they can't find jobs. They will have even more to protest when they graduate and still cannot find a job. Here's the unempolyment rate for 20 somethings:

My point was that Lehman didn't receive a bailout, and it failed.
If the others that had received bailouts were left to their own instead, they would have failed as well. I was pointing out that the free market system already has consequences in place for companies that execute poorly. It is bankruptcy. But the government took away that consequence with the bailouts.
Some point out the "too big to fail" issue, but maybe that still wouldn't have been worse than what we've had for the last three years.
No one can no for sure.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecaa2b26bb3f7983900002ablack swanMon, 21 Nov 2011 14:12:50 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4ecaa2b26bb3f7983900002a
No, Tyler's point was exactly as he stated it was, "the free market system took care of " Lehman. My point, which I documented, was that there was no free market that took care of Lehman, and that the rigged market caused the US taxpayers to lose tens of billions of dollars on the Lehman implosion.. If you believe otherwise, then document your evidence to the contrary.
"If the government wasn't meddling in bailouts right and left, the free markets would have cleared the slate two years ago."
I don't disagree with that, but it's still a little like saying, "'and if the Queen had balls, she would be King". Hypotheticals are for the Krugmans of the world. Reality is quite another matter.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca9b196bb3f7502d00001eaki009Mon, 21 Nov 2011 13:40:25 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca9b196bb3f7502d00001e
Isn't that Tyler's point? If the government wasn't meddling in bailouts right and left, the free markets would have cleared the slate two years ago. It _might_ have been nastier, but it'd be over now. Instead we now have no idea how long this ride will last, except that Obama backers will get questionable loans and bailouts as long as the Fed is allowed to print money to cover it all.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca9b14eab8ea807f00007cejmMon, 21 Nov 2011 13:40:20 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca9b14eab8ea807f00007c

"You don't need protection from Lehman Brothers, the free market system took care of them."
There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there is certainly no such thing as a free market. system The taxpayer very much needed protection from Lehman Brothers.
"Exactly two years after the bank failure that triggered the economic meltdown, former Lehman exec Lawrence McDonald, author of the bestselling A Colossal Failure of Common Sense, shows how that day’s events cost taxpayers $60 billion—and a new round of headaches today. Lehman Brothers triggered the AIG bailout."
In March 2009, it was reported that in 2008, just after its takeover of Lehman, Barclays received billions of dollars from its insurance arrangements with AIG, including $8.5bn from funds provided by the United States to bail out AIGhttp://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca8662ecad041609000003OWS Protesters Are A Bunch of Thug TerroristsMon, 21 Nov 2011 12:12:02 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca8662ecad041609000003

Henry- I am a little disappointed with your commentary- at least the weren't shot? And then you wonder about the tone of the comments you receive?
Our military has more highly developed rules of engagement for use in active war zones than these poorly trained police do for use on non- violent citizens. You use non-violent protest that violates the law, you get arrested. If they're passive, lthey get carried away. You don't get sprayed in the face with a chemical agent at close range and then not receive medical attention. This is not a joke, now the taxpayers are going to be on the hook for medical damages, etc., because a couple of cops wanted to show how much testosterone they have.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca8508ecad04c77400003dTylerMon, 21 Nov 2011 12:06:16 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca8508ecad04c77400003d
"So, doesn't it make sense to you that maybe that's one of the reasons they are protesting? Because of their economic situation, because they know they won't be able to find jobs?"
Are you saying they are protesting now, while they are students, because they MIGHT not find a job right away when they graduate from college?
Is this a preemptive "I can't find a job (four years from now)!" protest?
What if they are unlucky enough to get a job as soon as they graduate? All of this protesting was naught.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca7bd469bedd715b000021Mike ConnorMon, 21 Nov 2011 11:27:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca7bd469bedd715b000021

You're suggesting inaction (which is kinda what sitting in a road is as well) but agreeing with the cause. I can at least understand some of the idiots who just don't like these people and disagree with their principles but to have given up on your own ability to influence the world, and then criticise people for doing more than you?
Stunning, I can't even begin to understand how your mind works.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca66276bb3f7c84a00003fFord PrefectMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:54:31 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca66276bb3f7c84a00003f
They should have taken the Wall Street approach of buying some state legislators and making the sit-ins completely legal (although they probably are now anyway under the First Amendment) so that they could not be arrested.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca65bf69bedd6c39000019Ford PrefectMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:52:47 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca65bf69bedd6c39000019
The students were sitting on the concrete. There was room on the grass. The police had the option of going around the seated protestors on the grass. The police made a deliberate decision to upscale the confrontation.
I went to university in the late 70s. The campus police then would watch the various protests and sit-ins with bemusement on their faces, but they never intervened unless somebody started violence. They would then go in without riot gear and get the idiot who was screwing up the peaceful protest.
There was nearly always some form of protest going on then. If the police had responded to those protests the way these police are today, our campus would have looked like a war zone instead of the vibrant "happening" place it was.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca6543eab8eacf2f00000bSaraMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:50:43 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca6543eab8eacf2f00000b
Outraged?
No-one I know was outraged....hell, we loved it!!
Couldn't have happened to a better bunch of worthless feces covered commies.
When TSHTF, they'll be at home with their rich parents laughing at you hard working/hungry peasants.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca64796bb3f78b4800001aBeltway GregMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:47:21 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca64796bb3f78b4800001a
Actually it is the police who are being manipulated and the "whole OWS" is not retarded. Some aspects yes but the central thesis behind it is in intact and truly worthy. Unfortunately most of the OWS people are so lacking in knowledge that once again, the revolution will consume the revolutionaries. One thing they need to learn is that if you took out loans for 100K and you got a degree in English Lit. you're probably screwed and ought to become a plumber.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca64396bb3f7c54c00000fTony VMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:46:17 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca64396bb3f7c54c00000f
"Stop what you are doing, watch this video, and reflect on what it means to be American":
Get a grip Henry. Your sugary coated fantasy of an America that died a long time ago is hilarious.

Call me insensitive, but I'm not feeling it for the students. Maybe its b/c I have a job, responsibilities...
What exactly are these cats pissed off about? The wall street bonus/bailouts? Well who isn't pissed about it?
Maybe I'd be a little more sympathetic to these fools if they'd get a job and actually make a contribution to society rather than just sitting on their asses getting spayed.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca61f1ecad04ac2d00004abittergreenMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:36:33 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca61f1ecad04ac2d00004a
Wait, 8 people were arrested, so the UC Davis kids formed a circle around those arrested?
And they are surprised that such actions have consequences?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca6158ecad046c42000006Beltway GregMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:34:00 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca6158ecad046c42000006
I get that but the police should've simply disengaged. Just leave them there and walk away.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca61436bb3f7c333000046black swanMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:33:39 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca61436bb3f7c333000046
One student chanted: "Who do you serve? Who do you protect".
I think it is obvious that the police serve and protect John Corzine, Jamie Dimon, Lloyd Blankfein, etc. Perhaps the real question is, who is protecting Main Street, middle class Americans from MF Global, Lehman Brothers, Merrill Lynch, Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, JP Morgan, Citigroup, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Morgan Stanley, etc? Is it Tim Geithner, Max Baucus, Nancy Pelosi, John Boehner, Ben Bernanke, Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, etc?http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca60d769bedd9834000007Bob CMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:31:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca60d769bedd9834000007
First amendment protect a person's right to voice opinions.
NOT: Camp out on private property - Disrupt others lives -
cause a public nuisance - live in the streets.
Cops exercised admirable patience and restraint.. Personally,
I'd choose pepper spray over a club in the head.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca60236bb3f7f633000033IOOMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:28:51 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca60236bb3f7f633000033
Too bad they didn't just shoot them. The world would be a better dead if those vermin were exterminated.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca5fb86bb3f7c33300003bBeltway GregMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:27:04 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca5fb86bb3f7c33300003b
Got to love the students, pretty bad ass. They didn't flinch. They should be allowed to pepper spray the cops. This reminded me of the water cannons that Bull Connor used on the march on Selma.http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca5f836bb3f7b42d000046Henry BlodgetMon, 21 Nov 2011 09:26:11 -0500http://www.businessinsider.com/c/4eca5f836bb3f7b42d000046
Yes. As I said in the third paragraph: We first posted it on Saturday.

You ran this same story a few days ago. Same video and pictures. Running it again on a Monday morning I see....
